I think that bringing him here made perfect sense. It's not like Shawn Spring was cut and Smoot was brought in to take his place. He's back to be a #2 or a nickle back. I know he's not Bailey or Green but he's solid. He is a physical player which is something that is needed. When you have solid CB depth, which wasn't here last year, you have a better chance at holding down opposing passing games. How many times last year did you cringe at the fact that someones #3 WR was going to torch either Wright or Rumph ? How many times did you wish that Springs was backin the lineup because the guys that were starting just weren't cutting it ? Smoot is a good locker room guy, no he's not going to take a teams #1 WR out of the game but he can do what the team will ask him to do.

I wanted Fred Smoot back here because it's good for the secondary. You can't have too many quality corners especially when I had to look at that excuse for a secondary last year. You keep Springs because he can help the younger guys along and it shows a "commitment" to your guys. Smoot was one of Gibbs' core Redskins that got away so to bring him back, if just for that fact, makes perfect sense to me.

And your sig ? Seriously ? Dumbest trade ever ? Not the 100 picks the Vikings gave the Cowboys for Hershel Walker ? Not the 75 picks the Skins got from New Orleans so they could draft Ricky Williams ? Not the TJ Duckett trade but the Clinton Portis trade ? A guy who had 1315 and 1516 yards in his first two seasons in Washington. He was hurt last year so his production did drop, but seriously THAT was the dumbest trade ever ?
